You know that the Taskbar class name is "Shell_TrayWnd" and that the Start Button id is 0x130 because afeijao has already used the Spy++ utility to find this out:

How do I know that the Taskbar class name is "Shell_TrayWnd" or that the Start Button id is 0x130 ? I used the Spy++ utility that comes with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. You can use this technique for any window or control you wish to hide.

What he's saying is that you can use that utility to find any other window class name and ID. He's already done the work for you for the TaskBar and a few other windows.
